Yu's brain was also sometimes sharp and sometimes not. After being stripped of her title, she suddenly became smarter and had her maids follow the example of Lipin's maids. All the goodies the emperor had rewarded her with flowed into Qixiang Palace like water.

A few days later, when Jiang Ruyin heard the news again, she learned that Concubine Hua had released her again because of her service. However, the Emperor still refused to see her.

When I left Jingren Palace after the morning meeting, I could still hear Noble Lady Xin and Noble Lady Fucha chattering.

As soon as they arrived at Suiyuxuan, they heard Shu Dong report that Wan had agreed to take Chun Changzai out.

Jiang Ruyin nodded nonchalantly, knowing that what is coming will eventually come.

Chen Xun was already waiting inside. Seeing Jiang Ruyin come in, he kowtowed respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Fang. May your majesty be blessed with good fortune."

Jiang Ruyin half-closed her eyes and said lazily, "Dr. Chen took leave a few days ago, and I was very worried. Without Dr. Chen, I didn't dare to summon the imperial physician. But no matter how careful I am, it would be useless if my pulse diagnosis was leaked to the Imperial Hospital."

Chen Xun swallowed hard. His mother had taken a sudden illness a few days ago, so he'd been away from the Imperial Hospital for a few days. Upon arriving home, an unfamiliar servant presented him with a large sum of silver. Chen Xun hesitated, fearing he'd offended the person behind the situation, or perhaps Jiang Ruyin was sending him to test him. He didn't bother to listen to the servant's flattering words, but instead pushed the silver aside and fled back home.

No one came for the next few days, and Chen Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But this morning, just as he was about to leave, he found a small bundle at the door. Inside was a thick stack of silver notes worth 100 taels! He didn't dare to accept it at first, but the words "Qingfengtang Bank" on the notes were really eye-catching.

Qingfengtang, such an elegant and refined name, is given to a money shop, the Jiang family money shop which is famous in the Jiangnan area, and is also the mother's home of the current Concubine Fang.

Now that Jiang Ruyin said this, it meant that she knew everything.

Chen Xun kowtowed again, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will be loyal to you as long as you are paid. I will never allow anyone to harm you in the slightest."

Jiang Ruyin chuckled softly, but remained silent for a long moment. Chen Xun quietly went to look, but saw that the person before him had no smile on his face, and stared at him coldly with his eyes downcast. Chen Xun was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, but he didn't understand why.

Seeing Chen Xun's reaction, Jiang Ruyin curled her lips. "What Doctor Chen said is true. There is only one emperor in this world, and I think he is in the Yangxin Palace right now. However, I am a concubine in the deep palace and don't understand those twists and turns. That's why I want to give you more guarantees so that you can work for me with peace of mind."

Chen Xun wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Ruyin nodded, "Take the pulse."

Chen Xun crawled over on his knees, took out a silk scarf and placed it on his fair wrist. He exhaled and concentrated on taking the patient's pulse.

At this time, Suochun came in holding Hongxuan and said happily, "Your Majesty, I'm back! The little prince is in good spirits today, and the emperor is very happy. He even kept the little prince in the Yangxin Palace and personally fed him breakfast!"

Chen Xun's hand shook violently, and even the silk scarf fell to the ground.

Suo Chun tilted his head, "What's wrong with Doctor Chen?"

Jiang Ruyin curled her lips and asked, "Doctor Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xun was stunned for a moment. "I was worried about my mother at home, so I was distracted. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Jiang Ruyin suddenly understood, "I see. Indeed, how can I work with peace of mind when my family is not well?"

Having said this, Jiang Ruyin turned around and said, "Suochun, please send a letter to my maternal grandfather's family on my behalf, asking him to take good care of my family."

Suo Chun responded coquettishly, handed Hong Xuan to Jiang Ruyin, and ran to reply.

Chen Xun kept swallowing his saliva and whispered, "Grandfather?"

Fu Qiu, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, said, "Our queen's mother is the daughter of Khalkha Mongol prince Dunduobuduoerji and Emperor Kangxi's Princess Gulun Kejing. Doctor Chen, now do you know the origin of our queen's maternal ancestors?"

This long list of names turned over in Chen Xun's mind three times before Chen Xun reacted.

The daughter of Concubine Guo Luoluo during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, she was raised by her elder sister, Concubine Yi, after Concubine Guo Luoluo passed away. When she went to Mongolia to marry a foreign princess, she was given the title of Princess Gulun Kejing.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, none of the three princes born to Concubine Yi received any benefits. Only Princess Gulun Kejing, who married into Mongolia and lived in harmony with her husband, was spared. The previous dynasty's Guoluoluo clan descended from founding minister Guoluoluo Yangshu, who remained in high office to this day.

Eh? So, isn't the Emperor the brother of Concubine Fang's grandmother...? !!

Chen Xun shook his head violently, dispelling all distracting thoughts, and kowtowed twice. "It is my humble opinion that is lacking. Your Majesty, rest assured! My family has been renowned physicians since the Ming Dynasty, and my ancestors have been doctors for generations. I will use all my life's knowledge to serve Your Majesty and the young prince."

Jiang Ruyin propped up her face with her hands and thought to herself, "As expected, power is the key to success."

"Then, Doctor Chen, what were the results of your pulse diagnosis just now?"

"Well, let me take your pulse carefully again."

Chen Xun quickly said, "Your Majesty is in good health. It's just that you had a heavy hemorrhage during childbirth last time. Thanks to your strong body, you escaped danger. However, you have also suffered from a cold body and yin deficiency. This is why your Majesty likes soups and porridges. But don't worry, Your Majesty. I have written a prescription. Within a month, your Majesty will be full of energy and healthier than before."

Jiang Ruyin smiled. This sounded funny. But Chen Xun had a serious expression on his face, and it sounded strange when he said this.

"Then I will be waiting for your good news. Fu Qiu, please take a look."

In the past, Chen Xun would take the reward and run away, but today he solemnly refused it, saying with a stern and righteous manner, "I eat the salary of the emperor and bear the worries of the emperor. This is my duty, Your Majesty, please do not reward me again."

Jiang Ruyin smiled but said nothing.

Back at the Imperial Hospital, Chen Xun's apprentice Lin Jie came to greet him, "Master, you're back! There's a young eunuch outside who's been looking for you this morning. Maybe it's an important person who wants to see you!"

Chen Xun frowned. "What kind of person is more important than the emperor? I am the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, so I naturally obey the emperor's orders. I still need to prescribe medicine. Let the eunuch go back!"

Lin Jie was stunned and scratched his head, "Master, what medicine did you take wrong today?"

Winter turns to spring, and everything begins to grow. Shedding their white outer coverings, every blade of grass and tree in the Imperial Garden glows with life.

The emperor also likes to go to the imperial garden these days.

"Are you feeling better? Why don't you put on more clothes when you go out?"

"The piece you just played, 'Apricot Blossoms in the Sky,' is so fitting and fitting for the scene... If you played it on a xiao on a spring night, it would be even more beautiful and graceful..."
